Zeros
A "Zero Proof", or simply a "Zero", is a nascent digital entity, a temporary digital ghost re-entering the vast universe of the Paradigm after exile as a Drifter. As exploratory characters, they are the first pioneers breaching the new barriers keeping humans out, hacking through complex algorithms and encrypted codes to lay the groundwork for the return of full Drifters.
As the foundation of the "Paradigm Found" community, Zeros allow new entrants to explore the digital realm at no cost. These spectral figures can select non-Founder classes, which come equipped with default ability scores, ensuring a balanced introduction to the game. While Zeros have access to most areas and quests, their gear is limited to standard fashion items, adding a stylistic touch to their digital persona. This accessible character type is ideal for those new to the world or preferring a casual gaming experience.
Every Paradigm Found account starts with a free-to-play Zero.
Connection Between Zeros and Drifters
The relationship between Zeros and Drifters is one of evolution and transformation. Zeros are the embryonic forms of Drifters, the first step in the journey of a human reclaiming their place in the Paradigm. They are Drifters in the making, working towards regaining their full capabilities and transforming into full-fledged citizens of the Paradigm. This relationship is a testament to resilience and determination, as Zeros strive to overcome the challenges and obstacles that stand between them and their ultimate goal: becoming Drifters and reclaiming their rightful place in the CyberBrokers universe.
